Vinegar Fridays book

Here's what people are saying about

Green Grandma's Vinegar Fridays:

Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino of the Best Ever You network writes: The book just isn't about cleaning with vinegar though.It is about many other uses for it such as keeping rabbits out of your garden, taming the frizzies in your hair and more.But above all, Green Grandma "Hana" is a really great writer.Hana
really has a knack for words and good sentences, so really the book
could be about anything and it would be a winner because of Hana's
writing touch.Click here to read more of the Best Ever You Blue Ribbon review.Toni, the Chic Mama gave another glowing review:Hana Haatainen Caye, also known as The Green
Grandma, has written "Vinegar Fridays," a book filled with the wonderful
uses of vinegar. I absolutely love the book's description, "A splash of
vinegar with a dash of personality." The book, "Vinegar Fridays," is
such an easy read, many thanks to Hana's personality jumping off the
pages. Let me tell you, this book is not your Grandma's book about
vinegar. Ummm, well, actually it is, but this Grandma's book is way
better!The first thing I noticed about "Vinegar Fridays"
is that all of the information is compiled in such an organized way.
For example, each chapter pertains to a specific use of vinegar. One
chapter is regarding the beauty uses of vinegar: "Beauty Is In The Eye
Of The Beholder." Another chapter is regarding the many health benefits
of vinegar: "Vinegar - For The Health Of It." This organization truly
makes finding specific uses for vinegar around your household easy
peasy. Want more? Read the rest of Toni's kind review here. If you head over to Because I Said So (and Other Mommyisms),
you'll have the chance to read the most thorough review of the book. It
seems as though Meg tried nearly every tip in the book ... and posted
pictures to demonstrate the effectiveness of these tried and true
vinegar-related remedies!

There is literally, something for everyone in this book. Several tips
could easily fit into more than one chapter, so I found myself wishing
there was an index for easy reference.

Taking Meg's comment to heart, I added an index. For those of you who bought the first edition of Vinegar Fridayswithout the index, click this link for an index you can print and put in the back of your book.

Meg's review
is a fun and informative read. If you haven't had the chance, I highly
recommend checking it out. I guarantee you'll learn something!Jodee, from Multi Healing Balm, gave another glowing review.

If
your new year’s resolution is to clean up your act whether it to be
more eco friendly, healthier, happier, more energetic or to lose weight,
then Vinegar Fridays should definitely be on your read list. The Green Grandma takes you through every room in the house, even giving
your beauty supply an overhaul in an often funny, easy-to-read style. Although I thought of Vinegar Fridays as more of a reference book I promise those ‘dedicated’ will find it hard to put down.

Wanda, of Scratch That, mentioned
the need for an index as well. But she had some other really nice
things to say about the book. Her review is quite comprehensive, too.

The
book itself is a very quick read. Hana condenses a lifetime's worth of
tips into 72 pages. Each of the 19 chapters is just a few pages long, so
it's quite easy to breeze through them. Hana's personality comes
through as well, making me giggle at times. I've never met her in real
life, but I feel like I know her from reading her blog, and her book
feels just the same. She introduces us to her family in this book and
tells how these tips have helped her whole family, right on down to her
grand-kids.

Want to. I almost never want to clean my house. But Hana
makes it sound fun and safe and effective. And if all you need is a jug
of vinegar, and occasionally some baking soda, then there’s no lugging
around a bucket of cleaners that leave you woozy from the smell.

Vinegar Fridaysoffers tips for more than just cleaning.
Facial masks. No-pooing (in place of shampooing). Salad dressings (of
course!) And other health-related remedies. Read the rest of the review here.

Long-time follower, Danielle, posted this review on Amazon: I have been a big fan of vinegar for a LONG time, using it for both
cleaning, and in the kitchen, but The Green Grandma website got me to
expand my vinegar usage even more! I purchase distilled white vinegar by
the gallons! It wasn't until the blog started Vinegar Fridays (which is
what this book has been created from) that I realized the MANY uses for
apple cider vinegar (ACV). I reach for the ACV at least once a day now,
for daily consumption, as well as cough medicine for my kids, treatment
for acid reflux, etc. Purchasing this book has made life even easier as
I can quickly refer to the pages on the topic I am interested in, and
mix up some inexpensive, extremely effective solutions!

And two more Amazon reviews worth sharing:

I met the author at a writing conference and was intrigued that she
somehow found a way to blog about -- of all things -- vinegar every
Friday, and then to collect all that knowledge into a book.

I wouldn't have thought there was enough about vinegar to fill a book, but there you have it! Linda writes: As
a novice of no-chemical living, I'm learning, slowly but surely. Hana's
way of presenting her material is engaging, fun, and actually exciting.
I immediately bought a nice spray bottle to concoct my cleaning spray,
and I've started using vinegar in the rinse cycle of my washer, with
awesome results. The most amazing thing is that there isn't a vinegar
smell as I would have thought. And so much cheaper!

If you think
this book is a little thin for the money, don't believe it! She crams a
ton of suggestions on a single page, gets right to her point each time,
and doesn't get off-topic at all. Plus, I'm going to end up saving a lot
more than the price of this book just in the first few months alone.

I
love that she also doesn't get high-horse preachy with this subject.
She simply presents it as a commonsense, back-to-basics change that is
impossible to ignore.

I'm excited about changing our habits and
cleaning up our act (so to speak)! I'd recommend this book to anyone
considering cutting down on the chemicals in his or her life. Easy and
fun to read, and a breath of fresh air (literally!).

Carisa writes (on Lulu.com): I want to start by saying..I am officially a convert. This book combines
the right amount of humor, insight and easy recipes all rolled together
into one insightful book. I didn't know vinegar could have this many
purposes but Hana shows us that it is just not something you mix with
oil and throw on your salad. All I can say is my eyes are open. It was
such a great read that I guarantee you will be rummaging through your
kitchen cupboard to try at least one or more of these recipes right
away.
